GAGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 368,854, dated August23, 1887.

Application filed April 4, 1887. Serial No. 233,656. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. RUSSELL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Lenox, in the county of Berkshire, State of Massachusetts,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gages, of which thefollowing is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

This invention relates to joiners gages, and among the objects of theinvention are the provision of a gage that will facilitate the fittingof butts to door-jambs where the castings are provided with moldings,where the door-stops are on the jambs, or where the wood-work israbbeted, the knife or marker of the gage working up to the rabbet orstop.

Other objects and advantages of myinvention will hereinafter appear, andthe novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in theclaims.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a gageconstructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is an end elevationof a modification, and Fig. 3 is a partial front elevation of Fig. 1.

Like letters indicate like parts in all the figures.

A represents the marking-bar, on the front of which is secured adovetailed rib, A, by means of screws A Mounted and adapted to beadjusted upon the dovetailed ribA is a marker, 13, having a dovetailrecess, B, in one side thereof, into which the rib A is adapted to take,and provided at its front with a setscrew, B passing through the sameand bearing upon the rib A,whereby said marker may be rigidly maintainedat any point upon the rib. At the lower end of the marker 13 is aset-screw, B which passes through a marking-pin, B, vertically slotted,as at B and therefore vertically adjustable upon said marker.

Screw-threaded, as at O, or otherwise S8 cured in the rear face of thebar A and extending rearwardly therefrom,are parallel rods 0, upon whichare mounted a gage-plate, D, provided with bearings D at eachend,-having set-screws D adapted to bear upon the rods O,passing throughsaid bearings, whereby said gage-plate may be adjusted upon the rods gto and from the bar A.

For the purpose of permitting a close adjustment of the plate D withrelation to the pin B, I have bout the plate D as at D (See Fig. 2.) Byreason of this bend and the adj ustability of the marker the gage isespecially adapted to be used in working around moldings, &c.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. In a gage, amarking-bar having adovetailed rib, in combination with a marker havinga similar recess and mounted on the rib, an adjusting screw passingthrough the marker,and a marking-pin adj ustably mounted in the marker,substantially as specified.

2. The combination of the bar A, having the dovetailed rib A, with themarker B, having the set-screw B, the slotted pin 13", and screw Bsubstantially as specified.

3. The combination of the bar A, rib A, and marker 13, having the screw13*, pin B, and screw B with the rods 0, plate D, having bearings D, andset-screws D", substantially as specified.

In testimony whereofI afiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE H. RUSSELL.
